History will look back at this to realize that behind every effort there's some real bloodshed. A sad incident. This should be a reminder to those who understand.

Very tragic attacks but we must also try to understand why these are taking place? Who is behind these?

Looks like Indo-American alliance to make CPEC unsuccessfull is playing impact. If US gets out of Afghanistan, then terrorists will easily be demolished. I believe and most will agree, US is actually spreading terrorism and playing a game against Pakistan to do more. Pakistan needs a leadership who could speak openly with points who is Imran Khan.
